His Excelleney Dr. Vladimir Prochazka, newly appointed Ambassador
of Czechoslovakia, called on me today at 2:30 p.m. to present copies
of his credentials and to request an appointment with the President.
The conversation was of very short duration and the Ambassador
remained in my office for a period of approximately five minutes.
The Ambassador expressed his gratification at being appointed to
this post.
I told him that, although I knew it was not customary to discuss
business matters before he had presented his credentials to the
President, I nevertheless wanted to say that as soon as he had done so ,
1 would notify him to call here to have an exhaustive discussion
about the Oatis case. 1 emphasized that this Government feels very
strongly about the matter, which is a most distressing one, and that I
would count upon his help to find a satisfactory solution.
I told the Ambassador that we would arrange a time for him to
present his credentials to the President at the White House.
Aside from the above, no matters of a political nature were
discussed.
